“We know that one in eight South Carolina children face hunger on a daily basis, and that includes the nearly 15,000 children who face food insecurity in the Richland-Columbia area. As Mayor, I am committed to investing in innovative solutions to reduce food insecurity, expand choices for families, and, most importantly, ensure every Columbia kid has access to meals,” said Mayor Daniel Rickenmann.
